Synopsis
Nature imitates art.... Nicolas has never really pondered upon Oscar Wilde's aphorism. He paints everythings that makes up his life in the city : rapes, muggings, murders, blood, terror, a violence that he has never witnessed personally but that explodes in his paintings, with the full colors of life. Nicolas doesn't copy nature, he expresses it. He has the talent. One evening, he meets André Bellisle, a strange character, who tells him :"Only your work interrests me. I can make you famous and that excites me. But do you really want it ?..." Since that crucial evening, things have speeded up for Nicolas. A series of suicides, accidents and gory murders, all foreseen by Bellisle, who warned him "I'm a bit of a medium". Each time the artist is present and transcribes what he has seen with the force of truth. But what price must he pay for the promised success ?
